Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

3-3-3-6 @ 285 MHz is practically the same as 3-4-4-8 @ 300 MHz...

And by the way... I had to go command rate 2T to be able to do it, are you are 1T? If so... nevermind clocking further, you are fine

Seems that is not worth it to stress the Ram any more.

Yes,it is 1T.

Thanks.

Then you are superfine at 285 MHz with those timings! I'd wish mine would do 300 MHz with 1T. They boot fine, and I can test them there to, but orthos fails, and sooner or later they do BSOD, always... much more sooner then later atually It's not the heat, cause I've tested them at 1T @ like 5c roomtemp, so i guess I'm stuck....at a pretty good speed, so it really doesen't matter for me either, I'll stick to 2T there

HI

0712 LCBQE

Smiffy

Hi all
One does 3.1Ghz on 1.525v.The other is weird.Does 2781 on 1.40v but will not do 2800MHz on 1.50v.Guess got a dud.

Smiffu

[Peter Burg]

3,1Ghz @ 1.525V is not that bad ... mine does 3,2Ghz with 1.35V with 14°C watertemp.

[vladomkd]

i ordered opteron 170, still waiting to arrive. it seems i got LCBQE 0722RPBW. i'm looking into adding some more RAM into my sistem so i have a question here... can opterons run DDR400 RAM at 400MHz when all 4 slots are used with double sided modules, or i will have to ride it at 333MHz (as with winchesters)? i have MSI K8N Neo4-F.

your answers are greatly appreciated!!!

P.S. what do you think about the stepping, is it good for o'clocking?

[Peter Burg]

The stepping is really good, i also have an LCBQE 0722 (but RPAW). But in the german forum a guy has an RPBW, he hits the 3Ghz with 1.35V. So, have fun with the CPU

[vladomkd]

whew.. 3Ghz at 1.261V. you sure got it rocking, but why not go higher? what about your temps, are you on air or water?

[Peter Burg]

My 24/7 config with my new "old" UCCC RAM is 3,1Ghz with 1.36V. This should be enough

[vladomkd]

nice, very nice!

p.s. do you have any info on the "4 sticks of RAM" issue?

[Cheffy]

it should run 4 sticks fine BUT you will be running 2T command.

also note that some motherboards can start to limit mem clocks on 4 sticks due to signaling/noise issues. nothing much can be done about that...

[Peter Burg]

It's not just depending on the MB. The CPU also plays an important role because of the integrated memory controller. I'd never run 4 sticks ... why should I? 4x512MB is much more work for the IMC and therefore your overclocking results may be worse. I'm always on the secure side and always run 2 sticks.

Some new review CPUs can run 1T with 4 sticks, but it's very rare.

[vladomkd]

then i better start searching a replacement for my 2x512s...

[Peter Burg]

This week I'll get some UCCC that run min. 273Mhz. I'll test them as soon as possible. Are you interested? If yes, let's talk per PM ..

[Slalad]

Hello all,

Im gonna just have to hope im putting my info where it needs to be.....

At the moment:

A8N32SLI
Opty 165 "naked"
Zalman 9700
NS G.Skills (2GB)
610w PC Power & cooling
LIAN LI PC-61
Viewsonic 20' 1050x1680
7900GS (P&Y ),...

and obviously replaced ALL thermal compound in the entire PC

Pair of pics,...one 3.0ghz, one the 24/7 2.8ghz.

what do you mean? interested in what?

[Peter Burg]

Interested in buying them fora good price

[vladomkd]

hm, first i need to decide what i'm going to do with my current modules.

[Peter Burg]

ebay? ^^

How's the stepping working out for you? I have the same one, very satisfied with it, currently running at 2.8Ghz w/ 1.300volts, it can go higher, but the temps suck on it, I definately need to delid this thing. I bet it can 3.0Ghz with less than 1.4volts.

[vladomkd]

i still don't know, a friend of mine ordered it from newegg, and i'm still waiting it to arrive.
how high are your temps? is XP-90 better then the stock cooler?

[Peter Burg]

stock cooler is very lousy ^^
Nearly everything is better than that :P

[freakBYnature]

Yeah the alu-block sucks, but the new stock copper-cooler isn't that bad. I use one of those to OC my 3000+ 50% over stock Really doesn't matter if it's singlecore at that speed when that computer is supposed to do nothing more than being online

[stealth]

Hi guys,

I still on air cooling but as the weather gets colder things geting better.

3102Mhz @1.5v,i can't do much at that speed(bencmarking,e.t.c.) because temps jump up to 70+°C but is a start.

[vladomkd]

so what would be a good air cooling solution for an overclocked opty?

p.s. this is the stock cooler that comes with opterons. it is supposed to be quite good, from what i have read...

[Peter Burg]

It's quite ok but compared to high end aircooling not that good .. i'd say middleclass
